There is an urgent
stakeholder partnerships and robust institutional mechanisms and processes
so that Filipinos will be able to live in safer, adaptive and disaster resilient
communities on the path to developing sustainably.
This DRRM framework indicates the paradigm shift towards a proactive andpreventive approach to disaster management.

• It
that
disaster prevention,
mitigation,
preparedness and climate change adaptation will be more effective
towards attaining the goal of adaptive, disaster resilient communities andsustainable development.
• The Framework shows that mitigating the potential impacts of existingdisaster and climate risks, preventing hazards and small emergencies fromp p

reduce loss of life and damage to social, economic and environmental
assets.

Th NationalThe
N til DRRM FrameworkFk
It also highlights the need for effective and coordinated humanitarianassistance and disaster response to save lives and protect the more vulnerable
groups during and immediately after a disaster.
Building back better after a disaster will lead to sustainable development after
the recovery and reconstruction process.
The upward motion indicated by the spiraling arrows represents a bottom‐up
participatory process, enhanced level of awareness, strengthened multi‐
multi
stakeholder partnerships, and pooling of resources.
• Mainstreaming DRR is a means towards:• Refocusing the development goals, objectives and targets to be able to adequately
respond to disaster risks; and• Identifying and implementing appropriate interventions to address the impacts ofdisaster risks.
risks• Mainstreaming DRR is an important step towards avoiding huge losses from disasters.
• These processes will synergize efforts and create rippling positive changes toward
addressingg the underlying

national and local policy‐making, planning, investment programming and in thepolicy/plan implementation.

Metro Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS)Objective:1) Evaluate seismic hazards, damages and vulnerability of Metro Manila
2) Prepare framework of master plan for earthquake disaster managementGoal: Development of a National System Resistant to Earthquake Impact
 Improvement of Metro Manila’s Urban Structure Enhance Current Risk Management
 Enhancement of Community Disaster Management Capacities
 Formulation of Reconstruction System
 Promotion of Research and Technology Development

Metro Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS)Earthquake Impact Scenario
Magnitude 7.2 Earthquake from the West Valley Fault will cause: Could damage approximately 38% of the residential buildings (total 1.3 M),
38% of the 10‐30 story buildings (total 981), 14% of the 30‐60 story buildings(total 119)119), 30
30‐35%
35% of public buildings
 Estimated 33,500 deaths and 114,000 injuries
 Additional 18,000 deaths from fire 9 bridges might be affected; 4000 water pipes or joint breaks, 30 km electricalcables cut, 95 km communication cables cut

Possible Regional Separation

Metro Manila West
Western part of Metropolitan Manila will be isolated from other part of Metropolitan Manila by fire and building collapse
Metro Manila North and Metro Manila South
Northern and Southern part of Metropolitan Manila will be separated by the building collapse and the geographical condition.
The area between Mandaluyong and Makati has a high possibility of building collapse; Moreover, Pasig River is running east‐
separation
west which is naturally disadvantageous in terms of separation.
Metro Manila East
All road networks running east‐west, which are on the fault will be broken due to the movement. Other roads running north‐south near in fault areas will be difficult to use, due to the high number of building collapse.

EARTHQUAKE / TSUNAMI DISASTER COUNTERMEASURES REDAS
Earthquake Damage Assessment System)
S (Rapid(S)

A simple and user‐friendly simulation tool or software that can give a
rapid estimate of the possible seismic hazards which can be used for
inferring the severity of impacts to various elements‐at‐risk.

REDAS aims
 to provide quick and near real-time simulated earthquake hazard information todisaster managers which will help them in assessing the distribution and extent of the
impacts of a strong earthquake. This could help them to decide and prioritize thedeployment of timely rescue and relief operations.
 The second objective is for the software to serve as a tool in convincing land use
planners, policy makers, city and town development planners and even local
government executives to consider earthquake hazards in their planning anddevelopment efforts so as to ensure long-term mitigation of seismic risks.

EARTHQUAKE / TSUNAMI DISASTER COUNTERMEASURES Manila Map Viewer
A GIS‐based Internet tool and is currently being implemented as aprototype for earthquakes in Metro Manila, Philippines. The Metro Manila
Map Viewer allows users to retrieve useful information and maps fromdatasets including hazards, transportation, public facilities, emergency

resolution imagery.

The Metro Manila Map Viewer is part of the risk communication tools thatare jointly being developed and endorsed by the Pacific Disaster Center (PDC),
and the Earthquakes and Megacities Initiative (EMI) to facilitate information
sharing and to promote city stakeholders participation,
sharing,
participation ownership transfer,transfer
and a better understanding of the linkages between disaster risk reduction anddevelopment progress.

 Installation of Earthquake Intensity Meters
It contains a tiny monitor and equipped with data communication capabilities.
The sensors in the meters will instantlyy calculate the intensityy of the tremor felt
and then transmit data to the database
The quake meters would allow seismologists to spread alerts for tsunamis andlandslides faster and, ultimately, save more lives. Several of these meters are to beplaced in Metro Manila and neighboring provinces, populated areas that lie along
fault lines. The rest will be installed throughout the archipelago.

EARTHQUAKE / TSUNAMI DISASTER COUNTERMEASURES Program for Enhancement of Emergency Response (PEER)‐ is a regional training program initiated in 1998 by the U.S.
U S Agency for International Development
Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) and managed by National Society for Earthquake(NSET) to strengthen disaster response capacities in four Asian countries: India, Indonesia, Nepal, and
the Philippines.
Program Objectives:• Establish and strengthen the capability of PEER countries to provide collapsed structure, search and rescue
support, as well as basic and advanced life support, beginning with first responder agencies and continuingwith personnel in medical facilities.
• Develop a training system that continually provides disaster response with qualified personnel for search andrescue and medical first response and medical facilities prepared to receive victims. Establish a coordinating
network of emergency and medical response and training institutions and individuals in PEER countries that
ensure the continuation of the P
PEER
R process and further promote its evolution
PEER curriculum includes four interrelated courses:
 Medical First Responder (MFR)
 Collapsed Structure Search and Rescue (CSSR)
 Hospital Preparedness for Emergencies (HOPE)
 Training for Instructor (TFI)
